Just got back from the game as i had to take brother to training...stayed there till 3 quarter time...
quick brief on the game....
SKILLS are terrible cannot hit a target by hand or foot...all our kicks are helicopters and handballs are to the feet of the player......
RUCKWORK got smashed lade and brogan too good for kosi and mcevoy.....big ben took some solid marks which was a positive....
clearance got smashed as well it was like 4 to 1 for power....
we are not doing the team thing and 1% blocks etc....
maxxy had his whole left leg wrapped up i think its a calf strain at half time put ice on it...
x clarke had some knee truoble and didnt play a part after half time......
not enough gut running from our players and intensity. very bad performance not many standout players....

No excuse for calf strains, these should be managed....X Clarke is the most injury prone player I can remember playing for us, bar Hammill....S.A Saint wrote:Just got back from the game as i had to take brother to training...stayed there till 3 quarter time...

Name the players who didnt play today but 10000% will be playing in Round 1
Now...from those..name those who were Top 10 in our B&F last year?
I think you'll find 9 of our best 10 players were on the park today...and its the quality of the next 10 that are the problem for us.

I think you will find our depth his year will be worse than last year due to the axing of a few mature players and the recruitment of a lot of youngsters. This will be short term pain for long term gain hopefully but it also means we need a great year injury wise.saint66au wrote:OK..just a lil exercise for youDevilhead wrote:Thanks SA - I think you will find that P Burgoyne was credited as kicking a goal earlier in the matchS.A Saint wrote:yea very close to full strength only player i think is peter burgoyneDevilhead wrote:As far as I am aware Port are playing there strongest line up ie: no one missing - can someone clarify this???

Montagna playedMr X from the West wrote:Did Montagna play today? Who played in our midfield?
onballers would have been
Dal Santo
Ball
Steven
Montagna
then rotate in Goddard, Ray, Clarke, Geary, McQualter, Jones.
SO apart from Hayes that was a full strength midfield.
edit ooops forgot Armitage

Dissapointing result - praccy match or not - so close to the real thing.
Yeah we have some players to come back and guys like Baker etc arent what they were and will take time but a 10 goal smashing with another 2nd qtr mess and little potentcy going fwd is a concern.
I do think Port are the smokey team to rise rapidly this year - they are well coached and do seem a side who rebounds quite quickly.
Did we chip sideways again? - Im more interested in how we are playing.
If we did Ross needs to address this and the players need to start showing from the the first bounce that they are capable of producing 4 qtr football of a standard they did when coming back against Lions.
Port sound like they had a full side in and while we are never flash against them (even just scraping in last year and lets face it theyve been a bogey side for years) I expected a little more encourging signs.
Main hope is that X isnt injured serious again or that Max hasnt stuffed something up proper before the real stuff starts.

exactly.twirlyhair wrote:Looks like the eaints are in for another year of mediocrity. I guess that is no different from every other year. Lets face it, we dont have the cattle and we certainly dont have the mindset to take us to the top. We are simply not ruthless enough.
Be happy if we make the eight this year.....we need firepower up forward.
Who have we gained over last year in that regard?
Who will cover Harvey's loss?
But it's a genuine rebuild year, so if we are a bit shabby, it's a least excuseable IMO.

I love exercisessaint66au wrote:
OK..just a lil exercise for you
10000% is going a bit over the top however given the two week break of those who missed today I would expect King Gardiner Lenny Gram and Raph all to play - as far as I am aware we have no long term injuries except Eddy and Dempster - so that is close to 1/4 of our side who did not play today who would be walk up starts given they have all had 3 weeks to recover and freshen upsaint66au wrote: Name the players who didnt play today but 10000% will be playing in Round 1
That question is irrelevant considering all those players missing bar Eddy are seriously important to the make up of our sidesaint66au wrote: Now...from those..name those who were Top 10 in our B&F last year?
Well for what's worth you are wrong as both Lenny and Gram were in the top 10 but as i said it is irrevelant given the other 3 guys (King, Gardiner and Raph all of whom are extremely important to the structure of our side) could at any stage be considered in the top 10 given the roles they playsaint66au wrote: I think you'll find 9 of our best 10 players were on the park today
I'd say it's a problem for 15 other sides as well which puts us in the same boat as everyone else ie: you take out 5 of the best 15 players (or 10 players) in any side and they will struggle - Geelong and Hawthorn included!!!!saint66au wrote:and its the quality of the next 10 that are the problem for us.

Sorry to burst you bubble SS but I think you will find that Rucks are also considered as midfielders and we were missing both of ours and we were playing against probably the best ruck combination in the league - oh and gram missed as wellsunsaint wrote:Montagna playedMr X from the West wrote:Did Montagna play today?
